Abstract
The field survey permits the completion of the phase of acquisition of the information concerning the characteristics of the building and facilities, but at the same time is an important opportunity to acquire information on the management procedures. The proper use of the survey instrumentation is fundamental at this stage. In the first part of the chapter, survey instruments required for the Green Energy Audit are selected and described with their characteristics and methods of use. In the second part, methodologies that the auditor should apply to carry out the audit properly are described and discussed. The last section covers the technical and application monitoring, which is strategic for audits.
